Pafmil offers free baking lessons

Manila, Philippines - Local flour millers are offering free baking lessons to returning overseas Filipino workers (OFW), unemployed persons who want to put up a bakery business and even youths who would like to have some employable skills to make them more attractive in the labor market. To ensure that enrolees will take the course seriously and not leave and quit after a day of exposure to the rigors of baking, they will be asked to deposit P2,000 each at the start of the course. This amount will be returned to them if they complete the course without any absence. If they do not complete the course or incurs an absence, they forfeit the deposit. The course will last for only five days (Monday to Friday) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Only 20 persons per class will be accepted. List up is on a first-come-first served basis. Classes begin on June 20. The second batch will be on June 27-July 1. The baking lessons will be held at the PAFMIL Baking Center, at the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Jose Fabella Center, Correctional Road, Addition Hills, Mandaluyong City. Lessons will include formulation and production of bestselling bread products such as Pan de sal, Loaf Bread, Monay, Ensaymada and Cinnamon Rolls among others. The flour millers will provide the basic baking ingredients free. These include flour, salt, sugar, shortening and yeast. Enrolees are required to bring their own pen, calculator, notebooks and white T shirts and hairnets.
